Bio

Though I'm new to Wyzant, I'm a veteran teacher and Stanford grad. Whatever your level, we will quickly identify your strengths and streamline your writing. I'll work with you to master structure and write with clarity and concision.

I’ve helped hundreds of students write powerful essays, write outstanding theses and dissertations, and improve reading comprehension. Though I'm new to Wyzant, I'm a veteran teacher and Stanford grad. Whatever your level, we will quickly identify your strengths and streamline your writing. I'll work with you to master structure and write with clarity and concision.

I've guided more than 800 graduate students through papers, theses, and dissertations at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. Many of them became top award winners. Because of this specialized experience, I offer academic writing guidance you’re unlikely to find elsewhere, especially in the social sciences. I'll help you feel confident with research and learn the rules of citation.

I live in Carmel, CA with my 16-yr-old son and golden retriever, Sunshine. I also have a son at UC Berkeley. Go Bears!
